I am not the best when it comes to understanding and setting up things on the computer and up to now, I have not been able to understand how to set up Desk Pilot.

I am wanting to connect both computers in my home running on the same internet connection. However 1 is on P3D V4 the other is on FSX, don't know if it makes a difference? How would I connect them both up, when I put the IP address into the client it says connection failed. Do I need to use another bit of software to link them up?

5: Network congestion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_congestion > also not the problem.

Using the PMDG 737 and DP 1.4.3. Tried absolutly everything. Working on it for hours.. no results. It seems that the First Officer is the problem. My FSX is compatible says the Compatibility Tester. Also of my friend.

FSUIPC is also up to date. PMDG versions also up to date and ofcourse FSX also.

Please mr Ripjaw, help us out..

Everything works within the cockpit apart from the flaps both CAPT and FO same with PF & PM have no control over flap lever within cockpit only moves on system used to move the lever and not on the other system (my friend next to me) only works through key assignments to extend and retract. However worked in free version of Desk pilot but not professional??????

However, desk pilot doesn't want to connect using the same ip adress.. but it doesn't work

We opened the 60000 ports.. but still didn't work.

Any more advise? on what we can try?

What are the differences between Desk Pilot Free and Professional? Is it mostly graphical interfaces or does it impact the ability to read control inputs on the aircraft, etc.?

Also, a friend and I used Desk Pilot with P3D and it worked pretty smoothly.

Every time I try to install Deskpilot I get an error that firstly says please enter a name followed by a windows error 'cannot focus a disabled or invisible window' purchased from simmarket researched it and might be something to do with the regedit

The update will contain bug fixes and most importantly the PMDG 747-v2 will be added to the product as promised. We have decided to add the 747-v2 as a multi-part update. This update will also grant beta access to all customers hence the multi-part update. Beta access will be automatic and all you will need to do is enable the 747 via the servers settings interface.

P3D Compatibility:

We tested it quite awhile ago, it should be compatible by default. - Install the included SimConnect.msi located in the "Desk Pilot Professional\Bin\FSX Not Installed" folder and you should be fine. Let us know if you're having any issues with P3D.

You have to load in the default aircraft first and then host the session with the PMDG aircraft. Start DP after both users simulators are loaded and connected.

DP Lobby System:

This will be included after the final 747v2 beta update. This will also be added as a multi-part update with early beta access.

Single player Compatibility:

Some of you have asked about the ability to use Desk Pilot in FSX's single player mode. After adding the PMDG 747-v2 we look into it - As this requires a separate project.

So seems like this software is dead now or not being developed? Ripjaw hasn't signed into Avsim since April of last year and no one is replying to the development progress of P3D compatibility. Shame. Anyone hear anything?

I was looking to buy Desk Pilot Professional to fly with my friend in the PMDG 777 and just had some questions about how it works:

1. Is it compatible with P3D yet?

2. Is the FMC/CDU sunk in the flightdeck so that my co-pilot can see everything i am doing to it in real time as well as seeing me do everything in the flightdeck in real time and vice versa?

3. We were going to use it to fly the Cross the Pond event and i was wondering does it still need multiplayer to connect or can we use single player and connect through that to get onto Vatsim? Because if it works in P3D i believe that it doesn't have multiplayer.

One of negative when doing shared cockpit is to connect to your buddy, lot's of trouble with router port forwarding etc.

On the flightsimstore it's write FSX and P3D via future update that is mean for now, only fsx and steam works.

How much time will it need to do p3d compatibility because as you are aware, many hardcore simmer are already jumped on Lockheed platform for OMM trouble?

Connect to the buddy is it easy and straight forward or you have to deal with many nightmare like router firewall anti virus ect?

There will be possibility to sync between different platform FSX-P3D?

When you said sync, what exactly on the two platform is shared?

Do we have to load the same flightplan or just one load and the other just sync ?

If both of us use active sky next is it shared?

If there is some difference between scenery could be a problem ?

When connect to vatsim and use vpilot shall we use the method as the example below?

Pilot: Connect as JBU123 in normal mode.Co-pilot: Connect as JBU123A in observer mode.

I hope that this tool will create a lot of enthusiastic crew and become popular, at PMDG they didn't give too much emphasis on shared cockpit and state that it wasn't a popular wish to invest time and money.

Desk Pilot is capable of syncing everything in the flight deck from switches to yokes and everything in between.You will be able to conduct online multi crew flights with your friends from across the globe. Friends are busy? Try our lobby feature! You can find and connect to other likeminded pilots with a click of a button. The lobby is currently undergoing changes and is unavailable.The current build supports Microsoft Flight Simulator X, PMDG Simulations Boeing 737 NGX and the PMDG Simulations Boeing 777X.P3D Functionality will be added to the product at later date. It will be automatic and free.Functionality with other aircraft from PMDG Simulations and/or other complex aircraft will included with major updates provided via our update servers. You can also download the updates from your online store.Our smart phone application can connect straight to Desk Pilot. You can change pilot roles and settings with a touch of a finger. Android & iOS. The smart phone application will be released at a later date.Feeling lucky? Try out GREMLIN mode and see if you can endure randomized components being switched on/off!

​

​Desk Pilot Management System (PMS)

This is one of the new additions to professional edition. You can access the core features and change settings while in flight! Without the need to leave the simulator. Now you may notice that the PMS looks like an aircraft CDU? That's because it is! See that button at the bottom labelled "Mode"? This will toggle between aircraft CDU mode and the PMS. This is required if you'd like to sync your CDUs button presses in certain third party aircraft. At the moment it's compatible, required with the PMDG Simulations 737 NGX and the PMDG Simulations 777X. The pilot management system will automatically change its appearance and functionality to suit the selected aircraft.

The image below is of the pilot management system in PMDG Simulations 777X mode.

To learn how to use the pilot management system consult the manual and/or video documentation after release.

Desk Pilot Configuration

Another new addition. This allows you to quickly change settings, key assignments and other features.

Desk Pilot Professional is a multi aircraft product that will evolve over time and only get better! You will only need to purchase one licence, all updates and aircraft addition will be free for licenced users.

I don't know if is the correct place to ask, but I was wondering if there has been any updates as to releasing the pro edition?

I have been using the free version for some time now with great success and check the website frequently to see if it's available, which it still isn't sadly. I only ask because having the 777 to share would be much appreciated for long haul flying with friends!

Thanks in advance!

We did some test like pinging true Hamashi it works. when we open Desk pilot (pilot side) server starts, we able to enable cockpit and fsuipc is ok. On the host side we see true Hamashi that client is joining session.

When we try to connect from client side we press the button and 2 secondes later it disconnect. Also by default we have an IP adress by default 192.168.1.101 that we cannot modify ( is it normal i dont know ?) in the key window it written TESTPASS on the server as well as on the client side. Anybody having any ideas how to get into that cockpit sharing. I feel that we are near but yet not too many explanations about that specific situation.

Just wanted to ask before a friend purchases the steam edition and the PMDG 737, will desk pilot work in this FSX? Is there any reason why it wouldn't?

I have tried using Hamachi to connect to other friends before using the steam edition, but nothing seems to work (although it did work in the disk edition). Regardless, even if it did work, would it be possible to share cockpit anyway?

Thanks in advance.
